[Verse 1]
Find someone to lend a hand
You know it may not be much
But do all you can
If you give up yourself
Care about someone else
Find something you can do
Love will come back to you

[Chorus]
Have a Rosie, Rosie Christmas (Have a Rosie Christmas)
Have a Rosie, Rosie Christmas this year
Have a Rosie, Rosie Christmas (Have a Rosie Christmas)
Have a Rosie, Rosie Christmas this year

[Verse 2]
It's not about the gifts, it's about the giver
I said it's not about today, it's about forever
The gift of giving opens up the door, oh yeah
To more than you have ever known before

[Chorus]
Have a Rosie, Rosie Christmas (Have a Rosie Christmas)
Have a Rosie, Rosie Christmas this year
Have a Rosie, Rosie Christmas (Have a Rosie Christmas)
Have a Rosie, Rosie Christmas this year

[Bridge]
A Rosie Christmas is a Christmas of love
It's not just the trees and toys that children dream of
It's about hope and joy and the peace from above
Let it come from your heart (Let it, let it come from your heart)
And you will be a part (You'll be a part)
Of a Rosie, Rosie Christmas
Oh yeah

[Chorus]
Have a Rosie, Rosie Christmas
And give someone a helping hand (Have a Rosie Christmas)
Have a Rosie, Rosie Christmas this year
Show a little love to somebody
Have a Rosie, Rosie Christmas
What we all need is love (Have a Rosie Christmas)
Love, share some love (Have a Rosie, Rosie Christmas this year)
Having a Rosie Christmas
Have a Rosie, Rosie Christmas (Hey, hey, yeah)
(Have a Rosie Christmas)
Having a Rosie, Rosie Christmas this year
Reach out and hold somebody
Have a Rosie, Rosie Christmas
Everybody, give a little love (Have a Rosie Christmas)
Have a Rosie, Rosie Christmas this year
Everybody, touch somebody
Have a Rosie, Rosie Christmas
Come on and help your fellow man (Have a Rosie Christmas)
Have a Rosie, Rosie Christmas this year
Having a Rosie Christmas
Have a Rosie, Rosie Christmas (Have a Rosie Christmas)
Have a Rosie, Rosie Christmas this year

Donna Summer

As the unquestioned queen of disco, the one and only Donna Summer lit up the late 70s and 80s with flashy, exuberant vocals and automatic earworms. Born LaDonna Adrian Gaines on Dec. 31, 1948, Summer moved to Germany after being cast in a Munich production of Hair. There, she happened to meet Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte, and the trio conglomerated to form a dynamic music team. With Moroder, Summer forged together her first album, The Hostage, which reached moderate success in Northern Europe. Summer’s big break, however, would come later with the release of 1975’s sexual “Love to Love You Baby”, which became one of disco’s first mainstream hits and reached #2 on the Billboard Charts.

1977 came around with the concept album I Remember Yesterday, which featured the Top 10 single “I Feel Love”. The next year, Summer hit the silver screen with the movie Thank God It’s Friday, whose soundtrack featured one of her own the iconic “Last Dance.” This would later become one of the disco legends' signature songs. “Dance” would take home an Academy Award for Best Original Song, a Grammy, and a Golden Globe, and it jumped to a peak of #3 on the charts.

Yet Summer’s illustrious career was far from finished – Summer’s first live album Live and More featured the single “MacArthur Park”, a melting ballad that was a cover of the Jimmy Webb ballad of the same name. “Park” became Summer’s first – and perhaps most memorable – No. 1 hit, and cemented her status as a vocalist as well as a performer. With the track, she became the first female in modern rock history to hold the top spot in both the Hot 100 and the Billboard 200. 1979, though, would really be the peak of her career.
